Past, Present, Future

So, my cousin(-in-law), posted this on her site and I thought, what the heck? I'll do it too. Also, my boss is out of town this week, leaving me with very little actual work to do.

What I was doing...

11 years ago: I had just turned 12, finishing up sixth grade. My best friends were Mikelle, Sydney, Heidi, and Val. I spent most of my time playing or babysitting my new little sister Dani. And I wanted to be a writer.

6 years ago: I had just turned 17, finishing my junior year at Brighton. I was dating Tony, and thought I was madly in love. I had just met Brian, which started the doubts of whether I was really in love with Tony. I had just made it into A Capella and Ladies for my senior year, and I was totally excited to be in high school and didn't really want to think about what I had to do after high school.

2 years ago: I had just turned 21, and after attending USU for 3 years, I was now at SLCC. And, after dating, marrying, and divorcing Craig, I was just beginning my relationship with Brian. I was finally happy again, and much stronger than I ever thought I could be. I was finally back to my original goal of being a writer, and I was set to start at the U in the fall.

Yesterday: I was still getting over a little cold I've had, but went to work anyway. Just a regular day, not too busy, not too slow. I paid some bills, I made a list of things I want to get done while my boss is gone, and then I drove home. My wonderful husband Brian got home and we ate dinner and then went to bed. (He gets home around 8:30-9:00ish.)

Today: I got to sleep in a little with my great husband. I love waking up next to him. We got ready and carpooled to work. He's finally rearranged his schedule so he can drive me and pick me up and we can save money on gas as well as get home around 7:00 so we actually have time to do things together during the week. I'm sitting at my great job, which is way flexible and the pay is worth the drive from Bountiful to Salt Lake every day, and back. I've only got two more semesters of school left and I'll finally have my degree, and I'll be able to take time to write my book. I'm loving life, and so completely happy. My marriage is way better than I ever even pictured marriage could be, and I'm so grateful for Brian. He makes everything better.

Tomorrow: I'll get up and go to work again, and not do anything really different, but life is still so good.

Ok, now I'm challenging whoever wants to do it too. Have fun!

Yeah! I'm so glad you're in the blog world. If it's ok I'll add you to my list. I loved your wedding pictures, I sure wish we could have been there, everything looks beautiful. I'm so glad (ha, I'll laugh everytime I write that now) you are so happy in love. You deserve that and so much more!

You want to be a writer I didn't know that. Just to warn you if you read my blog I am the worst writer ever well at least my grammer is very bad.
